Where you know this song best from probably depends largely on where your interests lie. To some, it's the theme song for the 2015 Women's World Cup in soccer or the WWE championships; to others, it's a feature in the "Insurgent" soundtrack, or "that song from the Colony commercials." Me being the nerd that I am, I first knew it as the theme song to the 2014 "League of Legends" championships, which is probably its rightful origin. But regardless of how you know this song, it's an epic number that can fit any triumphant situation, thanks to a magnificent musical score and powerful lyrics.

"Warriors" has a thunderous but rousing musical accompaniment, one that calls to mind Queen or other epic rockers of the 70s, but with a metal vibe to their music. I can easily see Imagine Dragons becoming the modern-day equivalent to Queen, with their music being used in sporting events or to showcase epic moments in film and television -- and given how many times this song has been used in sporting events and movies, it's rapidly becoming a reality.

"Imagine Dragons" is probably best known for its hit "Radioactive," which rocketed up on the charts and even scored a parody from Weird Al. I like to think of "Warriors" as almost a sequel to "Radioactive" -- while the former embodies struggling to survive after a nameless apocalypse, "Warriors" is about rising from the dust to become stronger and triumphant, overcoming the odds to become something better. I don't know if that's what the band was aiming for, but that's how I like to interpret it.

A fantastic number for fans of rock, or just epic music in general. Even if you're not a fan of sports, the "Divergent" series, or "League of Legends," this is a number worth listening to, especially if you need a good triumphant rock number.
